Innovation, Management capability and Productivity in SME's

该项目是与国家统计局经济微观数据研究科合作开展的。该学生将在ESRC生产力研究所（该研究所的首席主管是共同研究员和威尔士领导）。该研究将分析创新支持和管理实践对中小企业生产力的影响，以及政策传导路径，包括区域干预措施和新冠肺炎的影响，特别关注威尔士。访问ONS公司级数据资源将需要学生根据数字经济法案完成“批准的研究人员”身份。经认证的访问和随后的数据安全是该项目提出的主要道德问题。如果COVID-19限制仍然存在，那么ONS和CARBS将密切合作，以确保安全可靠的远程访问。除了合作发表的学术成果外，不需要收集原始数据，也不会产生新的知识产权。

This project is in partnership with the Economic Microdata Research section of the Official for National Statistics (ONS). The student will be to the ESRC Productivity Institute (for which the lead supervisor is Co-investigator and Wales lead). The research will analyse impacts of innovation support and management practice on SME productivity as well as policy transmission paths, including regional interventions and Covid-19 impacts with particular attention of Wales. Access to ONS firm-level data resources will require student completion of "approved researcher" status under the Digital Economy Act. Accredited access and subsequent data security are the main ethical issues raised by the project. If Covid-19 restrictions remain in place, then ONS and CARBS will work closely to ensure safe and secure remote access. No primary data collection is entailed, and no new creation of IP will arise, beyond collaborative published academic outputs.
